Getting braces off in 6 months is not possible, since the treatment period must be completed.

Braces

are by far the most effective way to straighten teeth and give you a beautiful smile. Dr. Georgaklis developed the 6-month orthodontic appliance technique more than 20 years ago and it has been recognized by other orthodontists around the world.

This technique was created because Dr. G realized that there was an overwhelming need for rapid orthodontic treatment for adults, as many were choosing not to wear braces due to the demanding schedule of appointments and long treatment time. In the past, it usually took 1 to 3 years for a patient to get straight teeth and a beautiful smile. With the 6-month brace method created by Dr.

G, more than 90% of cases can be finished in 6 months or less. However, treatment times may be slower if instructions are not followed, including proper care for orthodontic appliances. At Rapid Braces, the first step in treatment is a free consultation to evaluate if Six Month Smiles orthodontic appliances are the best option for your case. Depending on your case, you'll need three to seven adjustments to your orthodontic appliances during treatment; this will be explained in detail in advance.

The typical process for removing braces, cleaning teeth and placing a retainer takes about an hour on average, although it can vary depending on the situation and specific needs. Braces can be removed soon if the patient insists, but this decision has many disadvantages. It may feel strange for the first few days of wearing braces, but after a month you'll have adapted well to them. The idea of wearing braces to get a perfect smile is often enough to scare adults because of the painful treatment and long treatment times.

Flossing is a key part of caring for orthodontic appliances; it's rewarding to see your diligence and patience rewarded with a beautiful smile. G was given a two-year deadline by all other orthodontists in Boston and some even said that lingual braces couldn't be used. Six Month Smiles offers a discreet alternative to conventional orthodontic appliances: they are made with transparent brackets and white wires, which can produce results quickly.
